Maybe thats when they'll stop sweating bullets and start eating them.
That would complicate collecting on their billable hours. I understand the principle, lawyers not wanting to lose a case, but here Waid has been so adamant about not getting out of his own way that it wouldn't shock me to learn that his team has already resigned itself to the inevitable and is just trying to squeeze as much as they can out of the cretin while he still has resources to squeeze.

There is no good way out of this for Waid if this gets infront of a jury
 
How can you even ask how being called a white supremacist would harm someone's reputation?



No idea, depends. Has Mark Zaid done literally anything at all but a couple dumb tweets?


Oh please tell me that JSG is disabled (Sorry JSG if you read this, no bad karma!), I would absolutely jump on a flight to Texas just to be there to see the look on Waid's face when they wheeled a black, bisexual man into the courtroom as exibit A: Mark Waid's definition of a white supremacist. Followed by Exibit B: Meyers fucking Benetton brood.
Oh God, I'd have to wear Depens for the day on account of the near 100% certainty that I'd laugh so hard I'd piss myself!

As for the rest. I think we know at this stage that Waid's greasy superlawyer is probably acting pro-bono as long as Waid gets all his collectable tat signed for him. He's in it just to fuck with comicsgate and Ya Boi Zack because he's clearly a nasty peice of work.

You forgot Exhibit C: The black woman he fucked out of a comic store business and was warned that Waid would try to bleed ger dry if she tried to sue him.

Waid's a big pile of shit.

Well i mean has there ever been a defamation lawsuit based on something that was so patently incorrect like calling a black man a white supremacist?
 
I can imagine Waid's legal team sweating bullets now that the TCPA is off the table.
They are really banking on this jurisdictional argument resolving in their favor.
I honestly don't what card they have left to play if the judge strikes down their motion.
Because if they get to trial, Waid better prepare for the full reaming.

Losing access to the TCPA is perfect imo. If they hadn't played silly games with Jurisdiction they could have been done with it already. They got nothing to stop trial planning now if the jurisdiction argument fails. Unless they go full retard and try and appeal a jurisdiction dispute. I am sure that will really endear them to the judge.

Dont hold your breath. If that happened they would call in an expert witness with a "PhD" in "Critical Race Theory" to explain to the jury what internalized racism is.

I would love a facecam of a Texas jury being given that pitch. It would be like a 2girls1cup reaction video, only with incredulity instead of disgust.
 
Do you know what county this is being heard in?

Wherever the pool for Judge Earl Leroy Yeakel III is drawn from. The federal courthouse is in Austin, the district is the Western District of Texas.

It's a federal court.

I believe it would be at least Travis County, but it might be just some part of Travis County or part of Travis County and some other count(y/ies).

Austin and its suburbs make up most of Travis Cty. Not that everyone involved will be left-leaning, but if anyone was gonna buy some fruitcake gender criticism argument they'd be in that pool.

In all honestly I dont think even a leftest jury would look at Meyers kids and look at how hes supporting thier foray into thier own religions and cultures and say hes a racist.
 
Being a white supremacist covers a lot of ground. For instance, if you're a black guy who doesn't like a shitty comic by the whitest marshmallow looking puffball of a man who ever lived, you're a white supremacist. That's what it means for Mark Waid.

but what it means for Waid doesnt matter. Its what it means for everyone else and for what purpose he said it.
